This audiobook will help you become more authentic, more productive, and better able to see and speak your truth in all facets of your life.

Partial audio book

Great book in ebook and paper format but this audiobook is more of a summary. Not the complete book. Very disappointing

Some good tips. You just have to endure the Cheese

There's a lot of good advice about setting aside time for inspiration consistently. The content can be a little corny, however.

A Creative Tool Kit for the Workplace

You will want to stop the presentation several times in order to take notes. There is very little actual "story" here but the material is creatively powerful.

Great read for leaders.

it requires time and commitment. However, if you follow through, it will aid not only in your professional life but also in your personal.

Great book

It was great to listen to and had some awesome techniques that I can't wait to try

Helpful creative approach to work

Is helpful for my own experience in corporate, quasi government workplace to incorporate change and adaptability. I can honor who I am and still play the game so to speak.

Artist’s Way at Work by Mark Bryan & Julia Cameron

This is an excellent resource workbook for working Artists and Professionals who want to incorporate Artist’ s Way concepts every work day. Listening to this former married couple is soothing and yet also Enlightening! I love Julia Cameron and her books!

Enjoyable and Educational

I got this book for a Graduate course, but I enjoyed it so much that I wanted to be able to listen to it too.

Excellent for re-igniting the flame of creativity

Would you listen to The Artist's Way at Work again? Why?

Yes, and in fact I have gone on to purchase all the other books in this series and am enjoying 'the revision' as Julia Cameron reaffirms the path of getting back in touch with what your original intentions were as a young creative.

Any additional comments?

I have been a successful artist for more than 3 decades and have many ups and downs, struggles and battles. The most significant one has been recent where in my mid 50's I can see the finish line and am wondering what on earth I have been doing all this time. A long suppressed desire to write has never stopped haunting me. Julia Cameron's real life story of success as a playwright, director and writer, is evidence of her qualification to really KNOW this creative persons problem. She later found herself needing to be a musician and so she followed this dream also. Why should ones life be of a single dimension creatively? It does not add up! Creative means 'creative'!

Being an artist for a living does not necessarily mean you are 'in the zone of creativity'. In fact much of the time you find yourself just slugging through process. Limits others place on you - the system of art places on you - can have you seriously questioning why you bother when being 'creative' is no longer what you are doing.

Julia Cameron's book gave me a series of practical check lists, real activities, concrete things I could do to try to 'work my way back' to my true creative goals. As a result I now have a new method or 'practise' I can apply - through the life time exercises she gives. Things like 'The Morning Pages', The Artists Date, and the Daily Walk - sound all very simple but what the process and discipline of doing them does - if you are open hearted and honest in the process - is staggering.

I saw a negative review here - which surprised me, however it may well depend upon what you expect from a course and where you are at in how you accept the information.

I do sense that this course works particularly well for experienced artists/musicians/writers who have lost their way and need help to get back on the creative road. However I have 2 friends who have taken it on and are having huge shifts in their 'stuckness'. One is not an artist, but a picture framer. He is astounded by what is happening to him in his early 60's as far as opening up his emotions by going through the steps given. For me this book was anything but 'a mess'! It was clarity central. Thank you Julia Cameron. A great read, one that has given me new life skills.

Recommendation for your inner artist self.

Would you listen to The Artist's Way at Work again? Why?

Very good motivation by the content of the audio book. I listen to the book 3 times so far.

What other book might you compare The Artist's Way at Work to and why?

It is similar to The Alchemist which deal with the inspiration and creativity of an artist.

What does Mark Bryan and Julia Cameron bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

They are very good readers. And the fact that they are the authors of the book help to communicate the content of the book. It feel like they were teaching us.

What insight do you think you’ll apply from The Artist's Way at Work?

I like many of the tool they are talking about like the morning pages, time out and all the retrospection questions they ask you to answer.
